Singleton Glen Ord 18 Years Speyside Single Malt [700ML]

Description

Singleton Glen Ord was founded in the year 1838, by Thomas Mackenzie in the Black Isle, a peninsula of rich, dark loam which is perfect for growing barley. Today, the Singleton Glen Ord distillery is the only remaining single malt Scotch whisky distillery left in the Black Isle.

Singleton Glen Ord 18 Years is a Highland single malt scotch whisky that is less spicy, more mature, slightly darker in colour, and deeper in flavour than the 12-year-old. A very sophisticated and well-structured old Singleton that balances a rich fruitiness with a gentle aromatic dryness. Beautifully finished and leaning toward dryness while maintaining an enduring, and appetising sweetness. Re-invented as part of Diageo’s ‘Singleton’ range for the Japanese market. Bottled at the standard 40% ABV.
